Points of interest:

**Tian Tan Buddha  - Once merely a remote monastery hidden by lush, mountain scenery, the Po Lin Monastery made it to the world map when the extraordinary Tian Tan Buddha statue (informally known as the Big Buddha) was erected in 1993. Sitting 34 metres high and facing north to look over the Chinese people, this majestic bronze Buddha draws pilgrims from all over Asia.

 

**Man Mo Temple(Sheung Wan) The largest Man Mo Temple in Hong Kong is on Hollywood Road. It was built in 1847.  And It is part of a complex that comprises three adjacent blocks namely Man Mo Temple, Lit Shing Temple and Kung So. The Man Mo Temple, the main building of the complex, is dedicated to the civil god Man Cheong and the martial god Kwan Tai. Lit Shing Kung is for the worship of all heavenly gods. Kung So, to its west, was an assembly hall where community affairs and disputes were settled.  It was graded as a Grade I historic building in 1993 and it is now a declared monument.

 

**Star Ferry - A crossing of Victoria Harbor on a Star Ferry has been named by the National Geographic of Traveler as one of the "fifty places of a lifetime". Now, for the first time, you have the opportunity to step back to the days of old and experience an era when third generation Star ferry was the major passenger connection between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula.
